Speaking Advice from Mark Twain;  Preparation is Key to Success.
 

“It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.”

So said writer and orator Mark Twain.  At Speechworks, we take Twain’s words to mean that preparation is everything.  If you want to be a great speaker, you must learn how to create a great presentation and then how to practice.

That’s what we help our clients do in our programs.  All of our programs focus on two areas:

  • How to organize a message that is tight, simple and focuses on audience needs. Speechworks teaches a simple Formula for focusing on listener needs.  We believe that if you have strong content, you will be more confident when you get up to speak.
  • How to deliver the message in a style that connects with the listeners.  We focus on eye contact, gestures, voice energy, and facial energy. Our coaches will give you private feedback on where you most need to improve.

These simple ideas will ensure that your great ideas connect with audiences.  You’ll connect because, like Twain, you’ll always be prepared.

At Speechworks we help our clients learn how to communicate in a way that connects and persuades.  If you’re interested in becoming a great communicator give us a call at 404-266-0888 or check out our website at www.speechworks.net
